The two masses in the figure are released from rest. After the 3.0-kg mass has fallen 1.5 m, it is moving with a speed of 3.8 m/s. What is the change in mechanical energy done on the system during this time interval by the frictional force on the 2.0 kg mass?
Selection Differential
Selection differential is a measure of the strength of phenotypic selection. The selection differential describes the difference between the mean of the reproducing members of the population that contribute offspring to the next generation and the mean of all members of a population.
Quantitative Trait
A measurable phenotype that varies among individuals over a given range to produce a continuous distribution of a phenotype. Quantitative traits are sometimes called complex traits; they’re also sometimes called polygenic traits because their variation can be attributed to polygenic effects (that is, the cumulative action of many genes).
Heritability
The proportion of variation in a trait among individuals that can be attributed to genetic differences.
Heritability
The proportion of observed variation in a particular trait that can be attributed to inherited genetic factors in a population.
